Why Is HUT 8 CORP (HUT) Stock Down Today?

HUT 8 Corp shares fell 23.23% to $48.94 on Wednesday. The sharp decline followed the company’s third-quarter 2026 earnings release, where revenue missed analyst expectations and digital asset losses impacted profitability.

What Happened

Hut 8 reported third-quarter revenue of $71.071 million, which lagged the consensus estimate of $75.928 million. Although the company posted an adjusted EBITDA of $33.0 million, up 8% year over year, it recorded an operating loss. Digital asset losses weighed on net income, contributing to a negative net margin of 188.6% over the trailing twelve months. The company expanded its stock repurchase authorization to $1 billion. To fund a portion of this buyback, Hut 8 sold 3,102 Bitcoin. Management outlined a path for the full energization of the Beacon Point site, with 700 megawatts expected in the first quarter of 2027. Clear Street lowered its price target for the stock to $165 from $170.
